The rescue happened near Shiptonthorpe in East Yorkshire on 30 April, after owner Glynis Elgey sought help from Drone SAR for Lost Dogs UK.
Rescuers heard a whimper in nettles, found Krakka barely visible under dirt and dug her out in about 25 minutes with her owners David Hudson and Elgey.
The team believes a mini-landslide trapped the terrier during a countryside walk, and footage later showed her shaken but alive as she was reunited with Elgey.
